D’agostino Supermarkets

Friendly staff, food manager and generally seems really well run.
Dag’s you’d have my 5^th star if you just had choco liebniz biscuits in stock on a more than 1:5 visit ratio…(milk chocolate please.)

For purposes of regular grocery shopping, this one is nice, well stocked, clean, surprisingly quiet, laid out well, and has enough nice/​helpful employees to make for a decent shopping experience. They even have a soft serve station, which is awesome.
However, they’re prepared food/​grab & go options offer very slim pickings. And they still have those employees who are negative and rude enough to make you go in another line (which I had to do).
Much better options for this chain… but it’ll do if you are in the area.

Not bad. Everything is a dollar more than big chains but you are paying for convenience. Veggies were OK, employee asked if I needed help. Checkout lady had OK attitude, working at 8PM towards the end of her shift, not expecting a TJ bubbly personality. Salad bar sucked, hot bar had four items. But they had sushi, rotisserie, some good sales. Overall, it is what it is. If someone is spending a hundred bucks, probably hiking to TJ. But for convenience in this area, it is good to have this option.

Do you Agostino supermarkets is not one of my favorite supermarkets I have been to. Inside there seem to be a lot of older people that were shopping. I thought the staff here was rude and not very nice when I asked where something was down an aisle. A friend that was with me told me that he would never come here again. I really should give this place two stars but I’m in a good mood today.
Overall there are much better supermarkets that you can go to in the Village.

We went to this store tonight because we were walking by there on our way to the bus — and since our neighborhood grocery store is atrocious (Fine Fare [aka Swine Fare] on Grand Street), we’re constantly trying to find alternatives. Unlike the vast majority of other reviewers, we thought the staff at this store were *very friendly and helpful*. Not only that, but apparently the other reviewers haven’t encountered an atrocious grocery store such as the one in our neighborhood.
The store was very clean and there was no music blaring (a huge contrast to Swine Fare). The only negative is the rather small size of the store, therefore the selection was just fair overall — but I’d be really glad to have this store in our neighborhood instead of the horrendous Swine Fare.
(Update on 3÷22÷15): Yesterday we bought a large container of the lobster bisque from their (small) hot food bar and we had it for lunch today. *Delicious*!

*update* you moved the wrong one developers! Move the one on Greenwich! Please!!!
I wrote a review for the wrong D’agostino! I meant the one on Bethune not the Archives. That’s a whole other story.
And for you 70’s cool people here’s a jingle. «
Pleease Mr D’agostino…MOVE AWAY from me…»

You can take my word on this one — don’t buy from here.
Hands down one of the worst, most overpriced, something out of South Africa under Apartheid experiences in NYC. I would not know where to begin to address that one. Between the nannies with attitude (you know what I’m talking about) who resent you –to the cashiers who also resent you as old and nice as they look –I heard them shamelessly gossip about better known names — while snarling at you since you don’t qualify –to their products stamped one date but expire a whole lot sooner — I do not trust this place at all.
The males who work there are straight of a caged in place by another name and will start whistling loudly at you breathing and heaving hard since its all they can do inside and they can’t out right suck their lips at you, but do step out doors and they will.
For the «swanky west village» this is new money crap, it needs to shut down, and move with the times, stop offering turds of overpriced vegetables.
Yeah, I hear some say there is that the «omg I just found a grocery store back here» tendency to overcompensate and rate it high, I experienced that too and it wore off with my first rotten fish (not kidding)
Not a lot of food options in the area unless you wanted rat infested once Gristedes, now Duane Reade. Please west villagers you who live here, or work here — demand your right to fresh produced aptly priced to reflect the economic conditions where you won’t experience reverse race-​ism and women are free!
Walk a little further and go to Balducci’s.
Ugh. I need a sorbet/​cleansing pallette after writing this.

It would be wonderful to say how great this supermarket is, seeing as I live around the corner and end up there a lot. But it is not. The staff is very, very rude. The deli department is sometimes filthy. A girl once lost her press-​on nail as it fell into my food. She then picked it out, then wrapped up the food. A manager saw her do this and tried to explain why that was wrong. She did not understand what was wrong with it. She probably still does this, as she still works there. The cashiers, for the most part, are unfriendly, and you are always overcharged at that supermarket. I have not had one shopping experience there where something was not overly charged. Last week it was a six pack of Pepsi for $ 21! The cashiers act like it is a big burden for them to check a price which is wrong, and will argue and make the line longer. And longer. There are two nice cashiers who work there. I always try to get on their lines. The produce is disgusting, the prices are outrageous, and the one down the street at 666 is much, much nicer. Avoid this supermarket if you can. They are lucky because no other supermarkets are nearby, and so they get lots of quick fixes. Oh, and the manager can sometimes be just as rude, if not ruder, then the cashiers. Don’t shop here! There was a Duane Reade open around the corner, and it’s closed. They had the same kinds of attitudes and now are out of business. Hopefully the same will happen here! Then maybe we will get a better and nicer supermarket.

Such high prices! For a supermarket in downtown manhattan, some of that is expected, but still…

overpriced!!!

This brand of grocery store is over priced. This particular location is dimly lit and sometimes has an odd smell. It is not my favorite place to shop.

Was very happy to find out we had a supermarket 1.5 blocks from the new apartment and a carpeted one at that. Contrary to most reviewers, I have found the staff to be super nice, a-​typically nice infact which is a very nice treat. The store itself is very clean and pleasant to be in. My issues with this store, which have come up over time, are that we have found it to be very expensive and the selection leaves something to be desired, one brand of kidney beans, no fresh salsa and no Honey Comb to be found, just to name a view. Convenience is our main reason but will try and hit the Chealse Market more for variety and price.

A quick story before I review:
While shopping here, I decided I needed margarine. Near the butter-​related section of the cold stuff aisle, there was an old couple tottering around, blocking my path. I zig-​zagged my way around them and leaned over next tot he old man so I could grab my margarine. While bent over, my face at ass-​level, the old man released a machine-​gun style string of farts right in my direction. A stranger, for the first time in my life, was fart at me. It was surreal.
I always shop at the D’Ag at 666 Greenwich (mark of the beast?) in the Archives. I happened to be walking home and passed this one and decided to check it out, if for no other reason than a grocery-​related change of pace.
What I liked better than 666: the ceiling is lower, making everything feel cozier and homier. I kind of reminded me of grocery stores I used to frequent when I lived in Texas. The cashier was also very friendly.
What I liked less than 666: even though it was past 9 at night, it was quite crowded and I was constantly having to contort myself to get around my fellow shoppers. I got farted at.
If I’m in the neighborhood, I’ll come back and pray that the fart man isn’t there.

Not only are the majority of employees here extremely unpleasant, the groceries are overpriced and mediocre at best. Produce selection is terrible. Their rewards program is a joke. I try to avoid this place as much as possible.

I’ve been going to the Associated on 14^th Street and 8^th Avenue and to Gourmet Garage… I won’t be doing that again.
This place was really great. First, the layout of the store is spacious compared to the two places I listed above. It is much cleaner than Associated and easier to get around and priced better than Gourmet Garage. I went in with a short list of veggies, fruits, yogurt and chicken and I was pleased with the selection before me.
This will be my neighborhood grocery store of choice.

High prices — for example, $ 4 for half of a melon!!! I came here one evening to buy some fresh clams or shrimp, since Chelsea Market was closed already. I was disappointed to find NO clams or shrimp whatsover. The only option I had was to go with frozen shrimp, which was overpriced as well. The employees were NOT helpful whatsoever, and were uninformed and rude. Stay away.
